Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 c. fresh bread crumbs
- 6 cloves garlic
- 6 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp. dried red-pepper flakes
- 1 tsp. anchovy paste
- 1 lb. linguine
- 1 head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 c. grated Parmesan
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove. Wipe out the pan.
- Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the same pan over moderately low heat. Add the garlic, parsley and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the anchovy paste. Remove from the heat.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until almost done, about 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower and bring back to a boil. Cook until the cauliflower and pasta are just done, about 4 minutes longer. Drain. Toss with the garlic mixture, salt, bread crumbs and Parmesan. Top with additional Parmesan.
- Variations: Substitute broccoli for the cauliflower. Add a handful each of raisins and pine nuts at the same time as the garlic, parsley and red-pepper flakes. Use four chopped anchovy fillets instead of the anchovy paste.
- Wine Recommendation: Red wine, if it's simple and crisp, makes an intriguing choice for this dish. A touch of earthiness, such as you'll find in a basic Chianti, helps to tie the wine and food flavors together.
